Golden Square - Joy at Work

Imagine our grandparents walked into any of our offices right now, they’d for sure wonder how we get any work done at all. A lot of successful organizations today work in a very different way from the firms of earlier days. Dress codes are non-existent, ‘Good morning Sir!’ and ‘Goodnight Ma’am’ has been replaced by ‘Hey Bud!’ and ‘See ya June!’ and long formal emails and meetings have given way to concise text messages passed on across chat groups on different social media. However, the new generations of tech-savvy, internet-empowered employees have forced companies to modify or even eliminate policies that haven’t been touched for decades. But coming to the bigger picture, has any of this really managed to change the corporate workspace? And are these changes justified? We must say yes! Co-working spaces have brought in so much ease into the life of Millennials that working is now fun and innovative. Golden Square being one of the top co-working spaces across Bangalore is...

Blaring horns. Bumper to bumper traffic. Road rage… Bangaloreans have resigned themselves to these necessary evils as part of their daily commute, assuming there really is no choice. We beg to differ. You can say goodbye to traffic woes if you have your office in a strategic location.

“It needs nerves of steel to follow your dreams,” says Meenakshi Shenoy, Founder of Corporate Database Recruitment Consultants, a senior level search firm.  While she may be talking about the start-up boom in Bangalore, the statement could well apply to her journey as an entrepreneur. “The timing was right,” she says, recalling those early days of entrepreneurship.  “IT was booming and there were plenty of opportunities.”  Of course, there were challenges too. You have to be in the driver’s seat and never lose focus says Meenakshi.  She started small, with just 4-5 clients. Initially, clients would seek her services to recruit Project Managers or Programmers, but gradually as they saw her passion for recruitment and her professional services, the requirements and the clients grew bigger. Today, she takes great pride in being a boutique consulting firm catering to a very niche market. We caught up with Meenakshi Shenoy for a free-wheeling chat to understa...

Cash is King. Very important to remember especially when you are a bootstrapping startup. One big expense for any business is the office space. There are various ways to cut costs on office infrastructure, work from a garage, work from home, share an office. One of our members, however, demonstrated how to have the best of both worlds, save office costs and at the same time have an excellent space for collaboration.

At no other time in history is ‘trust’ more important for business than today. Trust fuels businesses, helps them not just survive the many onslaughts of a competitive global economy, but sustain and thrive. And I speak from experience. The fifth branch of Golden Square that is getting ready to welcome customers at Bangalore CBD South is a direct result of Trust built over the years and I am both proud and humbled to share this story with you.
